Product Overview

The DP250 Drum Press is designed with ergonomics and safety in mind. Featuring a surrounding spray guard with a large viewing window, users can safely and conveniently operate the machine.With a floorspace footprint of just over 1m², the DP250 is designed for installation at the point where drums are used, allowing for an integrated waste creation and compaction process.Three venting spikes pierce holes in the drum top for ventilation during the pressing cycle and the strong-chromed piston presses down with 25 tons of pressing force. The full pressing cycle lasts just 48 seconds, meaning that drums and barrels can be continuously loaded and compacted at a steady and regular rate. Boasting electrical and hydraulic overload protection, the state of the art controls are integrated into the machine to ensure safe usage, maximum convenience and long lasting protection against damage. The DP250 Drum Press also features a collection drain allowing excess fluid to safely run off.

Load Barrels

Place a whole drum or barrel vertically into the drum unit. Only one barrel up to 200 litres in size can be pressed in each cycle.

Press Cycle

The electronic control system is designed with simplicity in mind. The pressing cycle takes approximately 48 seconds.

Pressed Drums

Drums are compacted to around 15% of their original size, meaning you can store around 7 compacted drums in the same amount of space as a normal drum.

What kind of barrels can be pressed in the DP250 drum press?

All kinds - steel and aluminium barrels, plastic barrels and drums - anything up to 200 litres in size.

Should the barrels be cleaned before crushing?

No, though they should be empty. The Drum Press features a spray guard to protect users during the pressing cycle and a fluid collection drain will allow any excess fluid pressed out to run off into a disposal system.

What is the pressing force of the DP250 Drum Press?

The DP250 presses drums and barrels with 25 tons of hydraulic pressing force.

Is there any danger of users being sprayed with liquid from barrels that are being compacted?

No. The pressing plate features 3 spikes that pierce the barrels during the pressing cycle to allow ventilation. In addition to this, a surrounding spray guard prevents any liquid from spraying at the user.

Drum Press for Oil Industry

With a pressing cycle of just 48 seconds, the DP250 Drum Press is an ideal accompaniment to an industry that uses so many barrels.

In addition, the small floorspace footprint (1m²) means that the DP250 can be easily installed into any working environment in order to stream line the waste management process.

Drum Press in Food Production

Food production facilities use a range of packaging equipment in their production process. Plastic drums, steel barrels and containers up to 200 litres in size can be compacted in the 250 Drum Press.

The small floorspace footprint and spray guard ensure that the DP250 can safely operate in a clean and hygienic environment.

Drum Press in the Automotive Industry

Automotive manufacturers use a large quantity of material from drums and barrels including oil, paint and grease.

A Drum Press 250 with quiet, 2-stage hydraulics and an automated stop function simplifies the compaction and disposal of these containers, thereby minimizing the space used storing waste.
